Salad
- 8 ounces elbow pasta
- 1/2 cup dill pickle juice, straight from the jar
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, small diced
- 1 cup sliced dill pickles
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 3 tablespoons white onion, finely chopped
Creamy Dill Dressing
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sour Cream
- 1/4 cup dill pickle juice, straight from the jar
- 1/4 teaspoon Sriracha (or other hot sauce)
- salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
Cook the pasta (8 ounces) according to package instructions, just until al dente. Rinse pasta and drain well.
Add pasta to a mixing bowl and combine with 1/2 of pickle juice (straight out of the jar). Let sit for 5 minutes and drain.
Mix together all the creamy dill dressing ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Add pasta, cheese (1 cup), pickles (1 cup), dill, and onion (3 tablespoons) to a serving bowl and toss with dressing.
Refrigerate for 4-6 hours for best flavor and serve!
- Pasta: Cooking your pasta al dente takes around 7-9 minutes and means leaving it just a little firm in the center.
- Cheese: Switch the cheddar with Colby jack cheese or pepper jack.
- Pickles: Using sweet pickles instead of dill will coax out a brand-new flavor profile full of aromatic deliciousness and simple pleasures.
